âIn this second edition of Extreme Programming Explained, Kent Beck organizes and presents five yearsâ worth of experiences, growth, and change revolving around XP. If you are seriously interested in understanding how you and your team can start down the path of improvement with XP, you must read this book.â

âFrancesco Cirillo, Chief Executive Officer, XPLabs S.R.L.

âThe first edition of this book told us what XP wasâit changed the way many of us think about software development. This second edition takes it farther and gives us a lot more of the âwhyâ of XP, the motivations and the principles behind the practices. This is great stuff. Armed with the âwhatâ and the âwhy,â we can now all set out to confidently work on the âhowâ: how to run our projects better, and how to get agile techniques adopted in our organizations.â

âDave Thomas, The Pragmatic Programmers LLC

âThis book is dynamite! It was revolutionary when it first appeared a few years ago, and this new edition is equally profound. For those who insist on cookbook checklists, thereâs an excellent chapter on âprimary practices,â but I urge you to begin by truly contemplating the meaning of the opening sentence in the first chapter of Kent Beckâs book: âXP is about social change.â You should do whatever it takes to ensure that every IT professional and every IT managerâall the way up to the CIOâhas a copy of Extreme Programming Explained on his or her desk.â

âEd Yourdon, author and consultant

âXP is a powerful set of concepts for simplifying the process of software design, development, and testing. It is about minimalism and incrementalism, which are especially useful principles when tackling complex problems that require a balance of creativity and discipline.â

âMichael A. Cusumano, Professor, MIT Sloan School of Management, and author of The Business of Software

âExtreme Programming Explained is the work of a talented and passionate craftsman. Kent Beck has brought together a compelling collection of ideas about programming and management that deserves your full attention. My only beef is that our profession has gotten to a point where such common-sense ideas are labeled âextreme.â...â

âLou Mazzucchelli, Fellow, Cutter Business Technology Council

âIf your organization is ready for a change in the way it develops software, thereâs the slow incremental approach, fixing things one by one, or the fast track, jumping feet first into Extreme Programming. Do not be frightened by the name, it is not that extreme at all. It is mostly good old recipes and common sense, nicely integrated together, getting rid of all the fat that has accumulated over the years.â

âPhilippe Kruchten, UBC, Vancouver, British Columbia

âSometimes revolutionaries get left behind as the movement they started takes on a life of its own. In this book, Kent Beck shows that he remains ahead of the curve, leading XP to its next level. Incorporating five years of feedback, this book takes a fresh look at what it takes to develop better software in less time and for less money. There are no silver bullets here, just a set of practical principles that, when used wisely, can lead to dramatic improvements in software development productivity.â

âKent Beck has revised his classic book based on five more years of applying and teaching XP. He shows how the path to XP is both easy and hard: It can be started with fewer practices, and yet it challenges teams to go farther than ever.â

âWilliam Wake, independent consultant

âWith new insights, wisdom from experience, and clearer explanations of the art of Extreme Programming, this edition of Beckâs classic will help many realize the dream of outstanding software development.â

âXP has changed the way our industry thinks about software development. Its brilliant simplicity, focused execution, and insistence on fact-based planning over speculation have set a new standard for software delivery.â

âDavid Trowbridge, Architect, Microsoft Corporation

Accountability. Transparency. Responsibility. These are not words that are often applied to software development.

In this completely revised introduction to Extreme Programming (XP), Kent Beck describes how to improve your software development by integrating these highly desirable concepts into your daily development process.

The first edition of Extreme Programming Explained is a classic. It won awards for its then-radical ideas for improving small-team development, such as having developers write automated tests for their own code and having the whole team plan weekly. Much has changed in five years. This completely rewritten second edition expands the scope of XP to teams of any size by suggesting a program of continuous improvement based on:

Five core values consistent with excellence in software development

Eleven principles for putting those values into action

Thirteen primary and eleven corollary practices to help you push development past its current business and technical limitations

Whether you have a small team that is already closely aligned with your customers or a large team in a gigantic or multinational organization, you will find in these pages a wealth of ideas to challenge, inspire, and encourage you and your team members to substantially improve your software development.

Align business and technical decisions through weekly and quarterly planning

Improve teamwork by setting up an informative, shared workspace

You will also find many other concrete ideas for improvement, all based on a philosophy that emphasizes simultaneously increasing the humanity and effectiveness of software development.

Every team can improve. Every team can begin improving today. Improvement is possibleâbeyond what we can currently imagine. Extreme Programming Explained, Second Edition, offers ideas to fuel your improvement for years to come.

Programming Interviews Exposed is the programmerâs ideal first choice for technical interview preparation. Updated to reflect changing techniques and trends, this new fourth edition provides insider guidance on the unique interview process that today's programmers face. Online coding contests are being used to screen candidate pools of thousands, take-home projects have become commonplace, and employers are even evaluating a candidate's public code repositories at GitHubâand with competition becoming increasingly fierce, programmers need to shape themselves into the ideal candidate well in advance of the interview. This book doesn't just give you a collection of questions and answers, it walks you through the process of coming up with the solution so you learn the skills and techniques to shine on whatever problems youâre given.

This edition combines a thoroughly revised basis in classic questions involving fundamental data structures and algorithms with problems and step-by-step procedures for new topics including probability, data science, statistics, and machine learning which will help you fully prepare for whatever comes your way.

Learn what the interviewer needs to hear to move you forward in the process

Adopt an effective approach to phone screens with non-technical recruiters

Examine common interview problems and tests with expert explanations

Be ready to demonstrate your skills verbally, in contests, on GitHub, and more

Technical jobs require the skillset, but you wonât get hired unless you are able to effectively and efficiently demonstrate that skillset under pressure, in competition with hundreds of others with the same background. Programming Interviews Exposed teaches you the interview skills you need to stand out as the best applicant to help you get the job you want.

Scala is an object-oriented programming language for the Java VirtualMachine. In addition to being object-oriented, Scala is also afunctional language, and combines the best approaches to OO andfunctional programming.
